Hey , im looking for some simple games to take like a week of HnH with
im particularly looking for a game were i can make a dungeon for someone else to try and beat
ill suggest to you some time wasters
Unreal World - rogue like single player permadeath=== java i think
Wurm online - awesome game, alot of grind --- java
Realm of madgod - permadeath Fast FAST FAST paced action mmorpg PvE only === Flash game
Rebuild2 - game is beatable in about 2 hours, not much to say,
try try out funorb.com also for some jagex games the only ones worth mentioning are:
Arcanist = fucking awesome strategy game,
Armies of gelinior or some shit,, Games take about 1-2 hours per match in a 2v2

Re: Time Waster Games?
Edit: Misread the point of the post. For what you were talking about, try some of the RogueLikes out there. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is nice because it has tile support for beginners in the ASCII gaming world. Lotsa fun, permadeath, very hard. Took me a year (gaming on and off of course) to get my first 3 rune capture? Didn't win that game though. Stupid smiter. I started after someone mentioned playing the game on and off for 8 months before managing a full win.
EVE...
For those who don't know what I mean:
A game where the only rules are limited to about 1/4 of the world. Basically you can't attack people there or put up stations (otherwise the police NPCs rape you). Other than that, there's literally no rules as long as you don't hack accounts or bug abuse. Some of the most famous stories are about scandals where people scammed others through pyramid scheme investment banks. Massive (1000+ player) conflict from the largest alliance over contested space. Supposedly their new technology for servers is actually making those battles playable (only 1second lag or so). I was involved in the BoB wars in the south at one point, although I wasn't a mainstay pilot or so.
Oh god. The hours spent loving spreadsheets in that game. It's much more analytical than your average MMO, as such the intelligence level of the "high end" players *tends* to be better than what you see in most MMOs. The downside is that... well it's been around a while. Skills train in real time, whether or not you're logged in. As such, a "good" account tends to be at least 1 year old. Anything less than that and you just won't have the skillpoints to be useful or competitive in the more dangerous areas/pvp. Manufacturing businesses are controlled by old players/corporations. No real chance you can compete as a newbie. (Everything in game except starter items is manufactured by players or looted off rats). Essentially no females play it (it's a known scam for younger boys to pretend to be girls to get items off male older players).
They've made some inroads for smaller corporations to have somewhere to go. The big lawless zone is completely controlled by the super corporations, but they've made this really neat transient area called wormholes for small corps to play with. It requires a fuck tonne of communication and coordination to live in them, but the loot is absolutely amazing (the wormhole loot provides the components to produce the best small/mid sized ships in the game)
So yeah, if you've got cash and don't mind a sausage fest of a game, eve is viable. So long as you like to play the thinking game at least.

Re: Time Waster Games?
Oh heck yeah, sorry. Stone Soup is as free as they come. I'm fond of indy games and I've found quite a few good ones for free in the ascii world. Check out the games in this link here. Rogue survivor is a fun time waster with a 1-2 week play span I'd say. It lead me to a free ascii zombie survival, but for the life of me I can't remember that one's name. It was a lot more in depth and harder than RS.

Another one to look for if you like Rogue-likes: Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM). Single player, no way of creating your own content, but in 10 (ok, I admit, 15) years of playing it, I have never beaten the game.
